Summary:
Automatically return a restored proposal in BOE Pro to its original location. If the original folder path no longer exists, recreate it so the proposal is placed correctly without manual intervention.
Problem Statement:
When a proposal is restored after being archived, users must manually move it back to its prior location. This adds unnecessary steps, creates opportunities for misplacement, and leads to inconsistent organization and wasted time for teams managing large volumes of proposals.
Proposed Solution:
• Persist the proposals original container path, and any relevant metadata, at the time of archiving.
• On restore, automatically place the proposal back into the same location.
• If any part of the original path is missing, recreate the required folders/containers and then place the proposal there.
• Preserve existing relationships, links, and permissions during restore.
• Handle naming/location conflicts gracefully (e.g., warn and append a suffix or prompt the user to choose a destination).
• Provide a clear activity/audit log entry in the proposal activity feed indicating where the proposal was restored and whether any containers were created.
Benefits:
• Eliminates manual relocation steps, saving time.
• Reduces errors and risk of misplaced proposals.
• Preserves organizational structure and consistency.
• Improves user confidence in archive/restore workflows.
• Enhances auditability and transparency of restore actions.
